This will be a two-shot what the surprise Kim will get in the next chapter happened to a girl in my freshman class except she was already dating the junior guy. But yeah you'll see. Enjoy!;)

"It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are."-E.E Cummings

Today, not only were Kim's friends hyped up like they ate five billion sugar buns, which the blonde wouldn't be surprised if they did, but so was the rest of the Senior Class, but she seemed to be the only one who really couldn't care less about the event that will be going on this weekend at the Seaford Palm convention center, it was the fantasy center in San Jose and Kim did not know how it ended up being built in the middle class part of San Jose...Seaford but it was and that just gave the snobby, high- class kids who attended the private school Swathmore Academy another reason to hate them, but Kim couldn't care less about what they thought. Right, now she was just trying to get this week over with the talk about the big event happening Saturday night was really starting to irritate the blonde to the point where if she heard its name one more time she would end up snapping her chewed up pencil.

Hey, Kim! Did anyone ask you to Prom yet?" Jerry whispered yelled next to her in his seat. She snapped her pencil hearing the forbidden word Prom.

She snapped bitterly, "No, and can you please stop talking to me! I'm trying to pay attention to Mr. Collins English lesson. Our exams are in two weeks Jerry!"

Jerry shrugged. "So...?"

Kim snapped irritably, "So! Jerry were Seniors we don't pass our exam we don't graduate, you idiot!"

That sure got his attention he immediately whipped his head to face forward in his seat and listened to Mr. Collins lecture on Shakespeare as he quickly scribbled down bits of notes of what he was saying.

Kim shook her head at the boy beside her and went back to writing notes thinking, 'I wonder if he ever did apply for any colleges?'

The blonde laughed at the thought sure Jerry still had his same old personality but he did change a little for the better these past years. He defiantly became more responsible over the years and was more keen on doing his homework instead of C's and D's he got all B's and one C -in Math of course, but he really did improve.

He no longer does as many pranks as he use to except for, on April Fool's Day, but they usually weren't as destructive as they were back when her and him were freshman. He also wasn't a player anymore he finally grew out of that stage around Junior year and actually started making a real relationship, he is actually taking his now one-year girlfriend Grace Lockwood to the Prom this Saturday.
Kim was really proud at the man Jerry grew into, but she knows on the inside he will always be that goofy freshman kid no matter how much hair he plans to grow on his face once he gets out of high school. He was also no longer that tall lanky kid, but was fit and muscular and he finally made his goal as a black belt martial artist just like Jack and her were. The blonde couldn't be any more proud of her goofy, wild friend, Jerry Martinez.

Her thoughts then traveled over to her other friend Milton David Krupnick. He was the nerd everyone picked on, when he first stepped into Seaford High . Kim chuckled remembering she was the one on the first day of school who used her martial arts skills to save him from a bully, but now not only does everyone at Seaford respect the nerd but they truthfully feel grateful for having him.

He is always there willing to help them study for a test making sure they new everything from there ABC's to the reason why the world hasn't ended yet, if it wasn't for him they would most likely be failing. He also turned into quite the ladies man like Jerry did, he threw away his slacks, bow ties, and boat shoes and replaced them for his own individual style not the one society expects him to wear just because he's smart, but he made it his own.

Kim also noticed over the years just thinking about it at, the moment; he was no longer that skinny stick either with a nasally voice, but he had a man's voice and a man's body and she knew Julie couldn't be any happier with the confidence he's grown for himself and Kim new her girly, nerdy friend wouldn't replace him as her prom date for the world. They were voted cutest class couple, but they deserved it; being high school sweet hearts since freshman year and all.

RANG!

The sound of, the bell then rung through, the blonde's ears snapping her out of, her thoughts and signaling her to make her way to lunch. She sighed as she threw her backpack over her shoulder and made her way out of the classroom with Jerry the only Wasabi Warrior being in that class with her.

Jerry spoke up, "So...excited for Prom?" he raised his eyebrows at the blonde curiously.

Kim snorted sarcastically, "Yeah totally I'm off the walls ecstatic, Jerry."

Jerry rolled his eyes at the bitter blonde he had known her for years and he knows Kim Crawford could get any guy she wanted; she could get more than Donna Tobin does a year and that's more than a boat load. Jerry actually being friends with the cheerleader since freshman year has learned even though she does have the looks and well everything a guy could want he learned that she wasn't easy, she wasn't like I'll the others and now he figures that's why guys like her ten times more than Donna, she's just to blind to see it.

Jerry shrugged knowing she'll figure it out one day. "Well...okay Ms. Grouchy, jeez." He said sarcastically rolling his eyes.

Kim's face fell. "I'm sorry Jerry. I...I just have gotten plenty of offers to Prom but I just don't like any of the guys like that." The blonde said truthfully.

Jerry cocked his eyebrow, asking, "Well...who do you like?"

Kim started, "Well, there's this one g-" but was interrupted by a tall, in-shape African American boy running up to them with a huge smile exclaiming, "I got a date to the Prom with STACY!"

Kim smiled at him while he jumped up and down in victory slamming chests with Jerry and going into a bro-hug. Eddie also grew over the years. He went through a growth spurt back in tenth grade, he was taller than Jerry now and Kim remembered when he became so confident with his body he started to lift weights and train more in karate he was now very in-shape to, his happiness. He no longer went to junk food but fruits once he realized what a temple his body was and what a sudden boost of confidence he gained from his growth spurt, he never went to Falafel balls again. Kim could not be anymore, proud of him or the other two who grew up so well, turning from boys into young, strong men.

"Kim, you c'mon to, lunch or what?" Eddie called out to her snapping the blonde out of her thoughts.

Kim nodded slightly blushing and walked off with them to the lunchroom, but if she knew what was planned special for only her next hour she probably would've ran their faster than a cheetah.

What's the big surprise? Has Jack grown at all? Who planned the surprise?
